This is CRITICAL. I know you’re all putting your back into mutual aid & a thousand other great things, but if there’s anything left here, so many folks depend on these front-line lawyers right now.
I spoke to a friend on the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota board. They need financial donations to keep up with the heightened demand for their services: www.ilcm.org

ILCM is a nonprofit that provides free immigration legal representation to low-income immigrants and refugees in MN & ND

If you're wanting to send some help to Minneapolis, please consider donating to get them some coats and gloves, their linktree is below.
We are in fact DESPERATE for winter coats, waterproof gloves, and good boots. We get so many wonderful donations but it is so cold and the numbers of unhoused unsheltered people are going up at the absolute worst time for it, and we run out of coats weekly.
The frigid Twin Cities temperatures will hurt the homeless; so do not gloat about the impact on ICE without also stepping up here:

Our first podcast of 2026 is a rip off of The Defiant One’s set in the Philippines staring Pam Grier and Sid Haig. An underwhelming ’70’s exploitation film. #podcast #movies #bmovie #exploitationfilm

Look, I'm sure that Nolan's adaptation of "The Odyssey" will be fun, but I highly doubt it will be as good as the original.

It’s about a maniac killing people dressed as Santa Claus on the streets in London. People continue to dress as Santa Claus/Father Christmas regardless, giving him plenty of victims to choose from.
